[hobbit] alert for different partitions

[Vernon Everett]

Yep, can be done.
You need to use groups.

Try it like this.
In hobbit-clients.cfg
HOST=fileserv1
	DISK 	/local/dsk/vol0  95 99		GROUP=Finance
	DISK 	/local/dsk/vol1  80 90		GROUP=Development
	DISK 	/local/dsk/vol2  90 95		GROUP=Finance
	DISK 	/local/dsk/vol3  100 101	GROUP=Retail
	DISK 	/local/dsk/vol4  85 90 		GROUP=Retail

Now you have set up 3 groups for alerting.
Finance, Development and Retail.

Now in hobbit-alerts.cfg you do this.
GROUP=Finance
       MAIL fin-admin at mydomain.com REPEAT=1440 RECOVERED
       MAIL moneyPHB at mydomain.com COLOUR=red

GROUP=Development
       MAIL codemonkeys at mydomain.com REPEAT=1440

GROUP=Retail
      MAIL PHB at mydomain.com RECOVERED

There is brief mention of the GROUP feature in the hobbit-alerts.cfg
and hobbit-clients.cfg man pages in Xymon help pages but it hardly
does any justice to how powerful this feature is.

It also doesn't effect "normal" alerts.
You can still have hobbit-alerts.cfg entries along the line of

HOST=fileserv1 SERVICE=disk,conn,procs
    MAIL unixadmin at mydomain.com REPEAT=1440 RECOVERED

Cheers
